1.2 Meshing

• The tmerge filter has been improved to reduce the memory required for combining meshes, allowing you to merge larger meshes on existing workstations without upgrading the memory. The tmerge filter is described in Section 6.3.15, Reading Multiple Mesh/Case/Data Files in the ANSYS FLUENT 12.0 User's Guide.

• When using both ANSYS FLUENT and ABAQUS, you can now import mesh files using the ABAQUS ODB 6.8 E-F format into ANSYS FLUENT for all platforms that support ODB so that you can use existing ABAQUS import/export capabilities in ANSYS FLUENT. The new 6.8-EF format will not be supported on ultra_64 and hpux11_64. The two platforms should continue to support the older ODB file format.
